A Warm Habit Shirt.
A warm habit-shirt, for wearing either over, or under, the dress, may
be made with three-thread fleecy.--Needles, No. 12.
The border should be worked in a different colour to that of the other
part.
Cast on thirty-six stitches,--with the border colour. Knit twelve plain
rows.
This completes the border at the waist. In the next row--knit
eight,--with the first colour,--for the border at the side; then,--with
the other colour,--knit four, pearl four, alternately, for the next
twenty stitches; knit eight,--with the first colour,--for the border on
the other side. Knit three more rows, in a similar manner,--observing
to make a stitch, between the border and the pattern, at the
commencement of every row.
Work four similar rows, but alternating the stitches, by pearling on
the knitted stitches, and knitting on the pearled stitches, of the
previous four rows,--so as to form a checked pattern.
Repeat the last eight rows, alternately four and four, until twenty
patterns in height be worked; when twenty-five patterns in width should
count on the needle.
Pass forty stitches from one side, on to another needle; leaving (when
the same number shall have been passed off from the other side), nine
patterns, or thirty-six stitches, for the back of the shirt.
Knit, on the forty stitches, one of the two pieces, that pass over the
shoulders and form the front of the shirt, as follows.
N.B. The border (of eight stitches) is continued on the _outer_ side at
the same time. The borders, at the top of the back, and of the _inner_
sides of the front pieces, are knitted afterwards.
Knit four patterns, increasing on one side only--between the pattern
and outer border.
Knit four patterns, increasing, as before, on the outer side, between
the pattern and the border; and plain knitting four stitches on the
_inner_ side of every row.
N.B. The four plain stitches on the _inner_ side of the row are now to
be repeated on every succeeding row.
Work a sufficient number of rows to complete this portion of the front
of the shirt; decreasing on every row, between the pattern and the
four plain stitches, on the _inner_ side. Between the border and the
pattern, on the _outer_ side, bring the wool forward, and knit two
together, to preserve the open edge, formed by the increasing, in the
previous rows.
Work a corresponding front piece, on the other side, in the same
manner. Then,--
On the inner sides of the front ends, and back of neck, take up two
stitches on every square; knit round, bringing the wool forward, before
every stitch, except on the thirty-six stitches of the _back_--which
knit plain.
Knit eight plain rows.
In the next row--knit to within three patterns of the back; cast off
as far as three patterns beyond the back on the other side; knit the
remaining stitches to the end of the row.
Knit eight plain rows, on the remaining stitches, at either side;
decreasing one stitch at the beginning of every row.
Take up the stitches of the inner, and outer, borders at the ends of
the front sides, and knit the corners, by decreasing two stitches in
the centre of every row.
